Getting on Board With Your Annual Cleaning Tasks

When it comes to your home, cleanliness is the key. You have your weekly cleaning tasks to keep a certain rhythm and motif going with the home. This is so you can have a regular cleaning regimen to keep your house organized. If you have pets or your home is susceptible to pests, then frequent cleaning is necessary. However, some tasks you’ll find that you only need to do once or twice a year; quarterly for certain obligations. We will show some of the tasks that need to be done once to a few times a year. Here’s how you can keep up with your annual cleaning tasks.

Dusting Your Blinds, Washing Bed, and Vacuuming

A few times a year you should dedicate a Saturday morning to dusting your blinds. Remember, you should also pick a product safe for wood or painted wood to apply on the surface without destroying it. While you want to wash your sheets every 2 weeks, you need to clean the shams, bed skirts, and other materials on the bed every few months. Make sure you also vacuum your air conditioning and refrigerator vents. They’re subject to lots of dust. In due time, this builds and actually makes them put out a lot more energy, which could cost you hundreds of dollars a year.

Vacuum Your Mattresses and Shampoo the Carpet

These tasks only need to be done a couple times a year. You need to vacuum and flip all of the mattresses in your bedrooms. This helps to get more life out of your mattress so you won’t have to replace them often. Additionally, you want to shampoo your carpets and rugs. Use a special wet-vac with a solution that’s non-toxic. This way if you have pets, they won’t inhale harmful fumes. This helps to keep your carpets fresh and long lasting. Plus, you won’t need a professional carpet cleaner to charge $50-$100 per room. As you slide into certain parts of the home, make sure you clean the inside and outside of your windows. Clean windows definitely make a strong impression on the interior and exterior of your home..

Clean Out Your Refrigerator and Pantry
It goes without saying that you need to clean your refrigerator out at least once a year. The aroma of condiments and other things can really make for a smelly refrigerator. Take everything out and clean your refrigerator and freezer top to bottom. Doing this can help preserve your refrigerator and it’s good to let it breathe a bit. Clean out your pantry and the cabinets. This will help you create a cleaner place for storing your plates, your cups, and food stuffs. While you should clean other parts of your home more regularly, these tasks should be done quarterly and yearly. By setting up a date to clean certain parts of your home thoroughly, it’ll make these pesky tasks more manageable. This will save you a lot of money and maintenance in the long run.
